Ok so we're back. Moules last night were superb and in our usual 'Chez Jules' restaurant on the Old 'Place' - accompanied by a carafe (each) of white and red... and then back to Hotel Au Sleeping....standard place...er...loo, shower, bed AND a kettle!
No more pics I'm afraid but it is good to be home even though our fridge seems to have disappeared (..we have suspects) but apart from that all seems well. Goats have welcomed us for about an hours with Sammy bleating more than ever. Em even phoned for a brief 'bleat' (we might've visited on our way back but didn't) and we've PROMISED to go and see her on Weds/Thurs.
Met a few bikers on the ferry - one Swiss chap on a 1953 (German-made) Truimph125.... and three (young) French guys on big sporty (1100, 1200, 1300) machines who were off to annoy the Welsh: we hope they succeed and wished them bon chance.
We did 181 miles today making our total for the trip 4,193 miles. Pretty good given we hardly touched motorways nor went very fast: zoomed up to 85mph today tho' pulling away from some silly car-driver which was quite fun.
We're already planning the next big bike adventure - probably North Spain but NOT for three weeks this time. 10-12 days'd be just right I think and we might even do some shorter mini-trips (3-4-5 days) in between.
The BIKE was fantastic and worked perfectly in every respect. We thought we actually took everything we needed too and only had to buy a bottle-opener/corkscrew, a pair of nail-clippers and a plug for hotel sinks without one.....quite well organised apart from that.
Anyone who is brave enough is welcome to come around to MFC and see even more photos and some videos - bikers might enjoy this the most but BEWARE....you'll want to come with us next time!
THAT'S ALL....... er..........THE END!
